Coaster Brakes

These models are equipped with a ‘coaster’ brake that is operated by rotating the crank backwards.

Operation:

Operate the coaster brake as follows:

• Push the pedal down and forward as shown.

• As you push the pedals with increasing force, the braking action of the coaster brake increases.

WARNING: Adjust Seat so that rider can fully use Coaster Brake safely.

WARNING: If you do not obey the following instructions, injury to the rider or to others can occur :

• When you ride the product the first time, test the coaster brake and practice using it at a low speed in a large level area that is free of obstruc-tions.

• Every time the product is ridden, make sure the Bolt on the Brake Arm (A) is securely attached to the Fork Mount (B). The coaster brake will not work correctly if the brake arm is loose or is not attached securely to the Fork Mount.

• Removal of Brake Arm Bolt (A) will result in brakes NOT working.

Maintenance and Service

Repair and Service

WARNING: • Inspect the model frequently. Failure to inspect the model and to make repairs

or adjustments, as necessary, can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”.

• Immediately replace any damaged, missing, or badly worn parts.• Make sure all fasteners are correctly tightened as written in this manual and

any “Special Instructions”. Parts that are not tight enough can be lost or oper-ate poorly. Over tightened parts can be damaged. Make sure any replacement fasteners are the correct size and type.

NOTE: Have a bike service shop make any repairs or adjustments for which you do not have the correct tools or if the instructions in this manual or any “Special Instruc-tions” are not sufficient for you.

Torque ChartRecommended Torque:Use of a torque wrench is recommended. Recommended torque for each fastener is listed below. In addition to tightening to the recommended torque, please ensure the parts of the product are sufficiently tightened by performing the functional tests (in the component assembly sections of the owner’s manual) on each component as it is tightened.

NOTE: Please check that all fasteners on the product are torqued according to the table below:

Recommended Torque for clean, dry threads: How to Measure:

Fastener Size Torque (ft-lb / N•m)Screw or bolt size is determined by the width at the THREADS

as shown..157 in (4 mm) 3.1 ft-lbs (4.2 N•m)

.196 in (5 mm) 5 ft-lbs (6.8 N•m)

.236 in (6 mm) 7 ft-lb (9.5 N•m)

TiresMaintenance:• Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over

time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the model off the tires.• Do not use unregulated air hoses to inflate the inner tubes. An unregulated hose

can suddenly over inflate model tires and cause them to burst.• Replace worn tires.

WARNING: Do not ride or sit on the model if a tire is under inflated. This can damage the tire and inner tube.

Inflating the Tires:• Use a hand or a foot pump to inflate the tires. • Service station meter-regulated air hoses are also acceptable. • The maximum inflation pressure is shown on the tire sidewall. • If two inflation pressures are on the tire sidewall, use the higher pressure for on-

road riding and the lower pressure for off-road riding. • The lower pressure will provide better tire traction and a more comfortable ride.Before adding air to any tire, make sure the edge of the tire (the bead) is the same distance from the rim, all around the rim, on both sides of the tire. If the tire does not appear to be seated correctly, release air from the inner tube until you can push the bead of the tire into the rim where necessary. Add air slowly and stop frequently to check the tire seating and the pressure, until you reach the correct inflation pressure.

Tire Pressure TableRecommended Tire Pressure (kilopascals):Frequently check the tire inflation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the product off the tires. Recommended tire pressure is marked on the side of the tire. Conversion from PSI to Kilopascals is shown here.

A

Steps (start opposite Filler Valve):1. Insert a Tire Lever under Tire Bead (A).2. Hook end of Tire Lever on a spoke.3. Insert second Tire Lever and slide along rim to remove tire bead.4. Remove Inner Tube and Tire.5. Inspect for cause of flat and remove any foreign object from the tire if necessary.

1. Using your hands, start with one Bead (A) of Tire (B) and install it all the way around Rim (C).

2. Insert a slightly inflated Inner Tube (D) into the Tire and make sure the Valve Stem (E) is straight and aligned with the Rim Hole.

3. Work the second Tire Bead onto the Rim all the way around. This will take a little more effort than the first Tire Bead did. Use Tire Lever Tools if needed.

4. Make sure the Tube does not get pinched between Rim and Tire.

5. Inflate Tire just enough that it takes shape.6. Double check that both Tire Beads are seated

properly and that the Valve Stem is pointing straight out.

7. Fully inflate tube to recommended pressure listed on Tire side wall - do not over-inflate.

8. Install Valve Cap.

Lubrication TableWhat When How

Pedals every six months Put four drops of oil where the axles go into the pedals.

Lubrication

WARNING: • Do not over lubricate. If oil gets on the wheel rims or the brake shoes, it will

reduce brake performance and a longer distance to stop the model will be neces-sary. Injury to the rider or to others can occur.

• Keep all oil off the surfaces of the pedals where your feet rest.• Using soap and hot water, wash all oil off the wheels, the pedals, and the tires.• Rinse with clean water and dry completely before you ride the model.• Using a light machine oil (20W), lubricate the model according to the following

table:

Inspection of the BearingsMaintenanceFrequently check the bearings of the model. Lubricate or have a bicycle service shop lubricate the bearings once a year or any time the front wheel does not spin freely and easily.Wheel BearingsLift the front wheel off the ground and slowly spin the wheel by hand. The bearings are correctly adjusted if:

• The wheel spins freely and easily.• There is no side-to-side movement at the wheel rim when you push it to the side

with light force.
